The distance between the Evil Sun Ancient City and the Mohai Ancient City is closer than the distance between the Mohai Ancient City and the Longjiang Ancient City, although the Mohai Ancient City and the Longjiang Ancient City have long formed an irresolvable grudge, but the relationship with the Evil Sun Ancient City has always maintained peace.

On the one hand, the strength of the Evil Sun Ancient City is among the best among the major forces in the Linhai area, and neither the Mohai Ancient City nor the Longjiang Ancient City can compare with it. On the other hand, the Evil Sun Ancient City made its fortune on trade, and basically maintained good relations with the major forces in the Linhai area.

Therefore, when Zong Tianlin, the city lord of the Evil Sun Ancient City, heard that Shangguan Zhong and Ye Ye came to visit, he immediately came to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion in person and warmly welcomed the two to the City Lord's Mansion.

Zong Tianlin was a white-bearded old man with a harmonious expression, without a trace of sharpness on his body, and he looked very easy to get along with. But if someone underestimates him because of this, he will definitely pay a heavy price for it.

Because Zong Tianlin's promotion to the peak of the Martial King was the longest among the major city lords in the Linhai area, the background was unfathomable. Everyone speculated that if it weren't for his age, he would have been promoted to the realm of Emperor Wu and conquered the entire Linhai area in one fell swoop.

Shangguan Zhong had briefly introduced Zong Tianlin's information to Ye Ye before coming to the Evil Yang Ancient City, so as soon as the two of them entered the hall of the City Lord's Mansion, Ye Ye took the initiative to stand up and bow to Zong Tianlin: "Ye Ye, the deputy city lord of the Lower Mohai Ancient City, has seen Zong Tianlin's predecessors! I have heard of the name of my predecessors at home, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation, Ye Ye admired!"

Although he was not particularly afraid of Zong Tianlin's strength, since Shangguan Zhong and Ye Ye came to the Evil Yang Ancient City, they were indeed taken aback by the prosperous scene of the Evil Yang Ancient City, and he also admired Zong Tianlin's skill. In addition, Zong Tianlin never put on a stand in front of the two of them, and he has always been approachable, which made Ye Ye have a trace of respect for him.

Therefore, Ye Ye's words were sincere and sincere, without any politeness, which suddenly made Zong Tianlin have a little more good impression of Ye Ye.

"Hahahaha, with this help, the future of Mohai Ancient City will not have to worry!

Zong Tianlin nodded with satisfaction at Ye Ye, and while motioning for Ye Ye to sit down, he said enviously to Shangguan Zhong next to him.

Shangguan Zhong smiled faintly, and replied to Zong Tianlin in a modest tone: "The Sect City Lord is polite! The strength of Zhengming's nephew is obvious to all, although Ye Ye has unlimited potential, it will still take some time to surpass Zhengming's nephew!"

Although the tone was quite modest, Shangguan Zhong also thought that it would be a matter of time before Ye Ye surpassed Zong Zhengming, so he couldn't help but show a trace of pride on his face.

After all, the great potential of the advent body is recognized in the entire Ten Thousand Souls Continent, if in the end, Ye Ye's achievements are not as good as Zong Zhengming's, either it means that Ye Ye is not a real advent body, or Zong Zhengming has a great opportunity, and the potential can be compared to the advent body.

But the five points of Ye Ye's advent body have long been proven, and the possibility of Zong Zhengming getting an adventure is also very small, so Shangguan Zhong's modesty is only to take care of Zong Tianlin's face, and he actually agrees with Zong Tianlin's judgment just now.

Before Ye Ye could speak, the young woman who followed Zong Tianlin to receive the two seemed to be a little unhappy. She didn't seem to be used to Shangguan Zhong's performance just now, and said in a somewhat sour tone: "My cousin cultivated to the peak realm of the Martial King two years ago, and even the always arrogant and domineering Tu Tianke never dared to challenge his cousin, who is strong and who is weak at a glance, do you still need to argue!"

This young woman looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old, with a beautiful and pure appearance, and a kind of lady temperament all over her body. It's just that a hint of arrogance occasionally flashes between her eyebrows, and there is a hint of playfulness in her clear eyes from time to time.

After the young woman said this, Shangguan Zhong couldn't help but look embarrassed, and didn't know how to refute it.

Zong Tianlin immediately frowned and glared at the young woman, and said to her in a serious tone: "Ying'er, don't be rude! Immediately apologize to the Shangguan City Lord, otherwise you will be punished for facing the wall for three days!"

When the young woman Xiao Ying saw Zong Tianlin's serious expression, she immediately knew that she had said the wrong thing. She hurriedly walked to Shangguan Zhong with a light step, and said with a salute to Shangguan Zhong: "The little girl was offended just now, and I ask the city lord of Shangguan to forgive her sins!"

"Haha, it's all a joke, it's harmless!

Shangguan Zhong immediately helped Xiao Ying up, showing the generosity that a city lord should have.

Ye Ye glanced at Xiao Ying with a little curiosity, secretly guessing why the other party was so confident in Zong Zhengming.

In fact, after he took the Taiyuan Pill and the Chenglong Pill to cultivate, Ye Ye's cultivation at this time was already close to the level of the peak of the Martial King. It's just that because his cultivation is progressing too fast, what Ye Ye wants to do most now is not to continue to improve his cultivation, nor to successfully cultivate the martial art of Haitian Shengshui in one go, but to find an opponent with comparable strength to have a good fight, so that his cultivation can be quickly stabilized.

Before coming to the Evil Yang Ancient City, Ye Ye had heard that the young master of the Evil Yang Ancient City, Zong Zhengming, had the cultivation of the peak of the Martial King, and he was the first person of the young generation in the Linhai area. He followed Shangguan Zhong to the Evil Sun Ancient City, in addition to convincing Zong Tianlin to form an alliance with the Mohai Ancient City, he also had the intention to have a discussion with Zong Zhengming.

Regardless of victory or defeat, Ye Ye was confident that his cultivation would be quickly and steadily. Compared to slowly condensing Yuan Li by himself, this method can save him a lot of time.

Ye Ye was originally going to propose a discussion after discussing the alliance, but since Zong Tianlin took the initiative to compare him with Zong Zhengming, Ye Ye was ready to take advantage of the situation to express his willingness to discuss with each other.

"The girl should be His Excellency Zong Zhengming's cousin, right? Looking at the way you looked just now, it is obvious that you have great confidence in your cousin. Although it was the first time he came to the Evil Sun Ancient City, he had already heard of the prestige of His Excellency Zong Zhengming. If you can, I hope the girl can introduce me on my behalf, so that I can have a discussion with His Excellency Zong Zhengming?"

As soon as Ye Ye said this, the hall suddenly fell silent.

Not only was Xiao Ying surprised by Ye Ye's proposal, but Zong Tianlin and Shangguan Zhong also showed surprise.

But Ye Ye obviously didn't mean to change his words, and after finishing speaking, he stared straight at Xiao Ying, as if he wanted to get his affirmative answer as soon as possible.

The reason why he didn't ask Zong Tianlin, but told Xiao Ying his hope, was that he didn't want Zong Tianlin to misunderstand this matter. After all, he, Xiao Ying and Zong Zhengming are all young people, and it is common for them to know each other and compete in martial arts. But if Ye Ye directly proposed to Zong Tianlin for discussion, the nature of the matter would be different, and it was very likely that the Evil Sun Ancient City would feel offended, thus making this meeting fruitless.

But Xiao Ying obviously didn't think too much, thinking that Ye Ye's proposal for a martial arts competition was just to disagree with what she just said.

Xiao Ying, who has always taken it as his responsibility to protect his cousin's reputation, naturally will not retreat in front of Ye Ye. Without waiting for Zong Tianlin and Shangguan Zhong to express their opinions, Xiao Ying directly replaced Zong Zhengming and said to Ye Ye: "Okay, it's better than that! If you lose to your cousin at that time, don't blame us for bullying the guests in the Evil Sun Ancient City!"

While Xiao Ying promised Ye Ye, there was also a hint of expectation in her eyes, as if she wanted to see Ye Ye beaten by Zong Zhengming. Seeing this, Zong Tianlin couldn't help but shake his head, not knowing whether to intervene in the battle of will between their juniors.

At this moment, a dignified-looking young man suddenly walked into the door of the hall. He is tall but does not give people a sense of oppression, and has a gentle smile on his face at all times, which makes people feel good like a humble gentleman.

"Ying'er, why are you casually calling the shots for me again? It seems that the lessons you have been taught before are not enough, otherwise you wouldn't have a long memory until now!"

The young man was none other than Zong Zhengming, the young master of the Evil Sun Ancient City, and when he just walked to the door, he heard Xiao Ying's voice promising Ye Ye, so he hurriedly walked into the hall to stop this farce.

"I'm sorry! My cousin is too impulsive, I hope that the city lord of Shangguan and His Excellency Ye Ye will not be surprised! Just now she promised to learn from each other as if it didn't happen, and I apologize to the two of you again on behalf of my cousin!"

After Zong Zhengming walked into the hall, he first glared at Xiao Ying, and then immediately stood next to Xiao Ying and sincerely apologized to Shangguan Zhong and Ye Ye, his tone was full of apology.

Although it is not clear what the reason for Ye Ye's proposal to learn is, because Zong Zhengming is very aware of Xiao Ying's temperament, he instinctively thinks that Xiao Ying's words have stimulated Ye Ye, so Ye Ye has to propose a martial arts competition to maintain his dignity.

Like Xiao Ying's thoughts, Zong Zhengming didn't think that the current Ye Ye would be his opponent. Once the competition is made, Ye Ye may be even more embarrassed by then. In order to prevent the Evil Sun Ancient City from having a dislike with the Mohai Ancient City, Zong Zhengming immediately vetoed the martial arts competition, and also took the initiative to take the fault on himself, which made Ye Ye suddenly have a good impression of this person.

Xiao Ying showed a hint of loss in her eyes, and stood aside silently with a pout. Although she has a somewhat rude temperament, she also knows the truth of moderation, so after Zong Zhengming's arrival, she immediately restrained her temperament, and everything was left to Zong Zhengming's own decision.

And although Zong Zhengming reprimanded Xiao Ying at first, he didn't blame her too much after that. While apologizing to Ye Ye and the others on behalf of Xiao Ying, Zong Zhengming's intention to defend Xiao Ying was also very obvious, almost reaching the level of doting.

Seeing this scene, Ye Ye finally understood why there was such an alternative as Xiao Ying in the sect with a very strict family education. Perhaps it is precisely because Xiao Ying is not a real member of the clan that she will be treated and spoiled by the father and son of the clan family.

However, Zong Zhengming and Xiao Ying obviously would be wrong about Ye Ye's meaning.
